• Updates GMA Android dependency to 21.3.0

  • https://developers.google.com/admob/flutter/response-info

• Removes credentials from AdapterResponseInfo, which is replaced with adUnitMapping.
• Removes serverSideVerificationOptions from RewardedAd.load() and RewardedInterstitialAd.load(), replacing them with setters RewardedAd.setServerSideVerificationOptions() and RewardedInterstitialAd.setServerSideVerificationOptions(). This lets you update the ssv after the ad is loaded.

• Mediation is now supported in beta.

  • There are new APIs to support passing network extras to mediation adapters:
    • MediationNetworkExtrasProvider on Android and FLTMediationNetworkExtrasProvider on iOS
  • See the mediation example app README for more details on how to use these APIs.

• Fix for Android 12 issue #330

  • This will break compilation on android if you do not already set compileSdkVersion to 31, or override the WorkManager dependency to < 2.7.0:

    dependencies {
        implementation('androidx.work:work-runtime') {
            version {
                strictly '2.6.0'
            }
        }
    }
    

• Fixes issue #404

  • See the app open example app for a reference on how to use the new API.

• Adds a new parameter extras to AdRequest and AdManagerAdRequest.

  • This can be used to pass additional signals to the AdMob adapter, such as CCPA signals.
  • For example, to notify Google that RDP should be enabled when constructing an ad request:

      AdRequest request = AdRequest(extras: {'rdp': '1'});
    

• Partial fix for #265.
  • The partial fix allows you to load ads from a cached flutter engine in the add to app scenario, but it only works the first time the engine is attached to an activity.
  • Support for reusing the engine in another activity after the first one is destroyed is blocked by this Flutter issue which affects all platform views: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/88880.
• Adds support for getRequestConfiguration API
  • Android API reference
  • iOS API reference
• Adds support for Fluid Ad Size (Ad Manager only)
  • Fluid ads dynamically adjust their height based on their width. To help display them we've added a new ad container, FluidAdManagerBannerAd, and a new widget FluidAdWidget.
  • You can see the fluid_example.dart for a reference of how to load and display a fluid ad.
  • Android API reference
  • iOS API reference
• Adds AdSize.getCurrentOrientationAnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSize() to support getting an AnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSize in the current orientation.
  • Previously the user had to specify an orientation (portrait / landscape) to create an AnchoredAdaptiveBannerAdSize. It has been made optional with this version. SDK will determine the current orientation of the device and return an appropriate AdSize.
  • More information on anchored adaptive banners can be found here:
    • Admob android
    • Admob iOS
    • Ad manager android
    • Ad manager iOS
• Adds support for inline adaptive banner ads.
  • Inline adaptive banner ads are meant to be used in scrollable content. They are of variable height and can be as tall as the device screen. They differ from Fluid ads in that they only resize once when the ad is loaded. You can see the inline_adaptive_example.dart for a reference of how to load and display inline adaptive banners.
  • More information on inline adaptive banners can be found here:
    • Admob android
    • Admob iOS
    • Ad manager android
    • Ad manager iOS
• Fix for #369

• Adds support for setting location in AdRequest and AdManagerAdRequest.
  • Both AdRequest and AdManagerAdRequest have a new param, location.

  • See other packages for getting the location. For example, https://pub.dev/packages/location.
• Adds publisherProvidedId to AdManagerAdRequest to support publisher provided ids.

• Adds support for app open.
